The Linux Information Project has posted a rather provocatively titled list of 13 Reasons To Celebrate the New Microsoft-Novell Pact. Their list begins with the obvious: all of the hoopla around the deal is providing considerable publicity for Linux, as was the case with the SCO fiasco.

Moving on from that obvious beginning, it goes on to cover a wide range of potential results of the fiasco, from antitrust implications to GPL rewording and some potential benefits to Microsoft, not necessarily at the expense of Linux.

Well worth a read.
